Oven Cooking

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.

The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield on your range.

OVEN VENT

LOCATION Do not place plastics near the vent opening as heat from the vent could distort or melt the plastic.

Oven Light

Press the Oven Light switch on the control panel to turn the oven light on and off.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven bottom.

Oven Racks

CAUTION

•Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven is hot.

•Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.

The oven has two racks. All racks are designed with a lock- stop edge.

To remove:

1. Pull rack straight out until it stops at the lock-stop posi- tion.

2. Lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.

To replace:

1.Place rack on the rack support in the oven

2.Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop position.

3.Lower front and slide back into the oven.

Do not cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected and damage may occur to the oven bottom.
